Certification concerns

I've been asking around to find out if it is worth taking the Network+
certification exam now that I've completed the A+ exam. Most people
tell me to jump straight for a Microsoft cert because it will cover
networking if I go for the MCSE. I know that the MCSE would mean
more, but if I only take the one cert exam for networking aren't I
better off with the Network+ exam?

I would interject that Network+ covers more industry terms and definitions
whereas MS exams are more based on scenarios and issues that you may run
into in the real world. If you need a basic understanding of networking
terms (cable lengths, network types, etc.) the Network+ is perfect to study
for.

Ever thought of taking Sceurity+ and use it as an elective credit for your
MCSE? that way you only need to do 5 more courses for your MCSE and at the
end you will have 3 certs. A+, Security+, and MCSE. sweet.
